Guaranteed money is paid out year to year, but pretty sure the full amount has to be placed in escrow at the time the contract is signed.

So if a contract has $50 million guaranteed the team would have to put that amount in an escrow account and still collect the interest from the $50 million until it has to be paid to the player.

yes this makes sense to me, but it also shows that the owner needs to have that liquid $ to put into escrow at signing. i.e. Rams owner would have to put the 135 M in Escrow for Stafford...NOW.  Correct?  So, the rich owners still would have an advantage in this regard.
